Today's Look: Glowing Garnet


Hey guys! I'm back with more #sapphiresummer; new posts every other day with a video to accompany on my youtube channel: sapphiremakeup928

Today I decided to create a look using only my L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadows, focusing on the beautiful cranberry shade, Glistening Garnet. I wanted to use it in a way that I felt worked for summer, more so than fall, like a shade like that would normally be used for.

Today's Look: Lynette Scavo


Hey guys! I'm back with more #sapphiresummer; new posts every other day with a video to accompany on my youtube channel: sapphiremakeup928

Today I bring you a look inspired by the character of Lynette Scavo on "Desperate Housewives" played by Felicity Huffman. Lynette is a working mom, so her makeup is fairly minimal, just a little bit of smudgy brown liner, which makes the eyes pop. On date nights (as well as most of the last season) she wears a bit more makeup with some simple eyeshadow and smokier liner, so I thought it would be great for a day-to-night style look. 

Lynette, Season 1- My daytime inspiration

Lynette, Season 8- My nighttime inspiration
So, as you can see, both looks are quick and wearable, the night look is just a bit more smokey, so it will make the eyes pop even more.




Products used:
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Pink
Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Vanilla Bean
Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pencil in Black Cocoa
MAC Eyeshadow in Embark
Rimmel Scandaleyes Pencil in Nude
